For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for January 26, 2023

NOT AGAIN!

back to square one

those who don’t remember the past are doomed to repeat it. or something.

Harry Connick Jr. did something like that twice, when he was young.

Why’d you hand it back to her? You’re not usually so dumb, Liz.

Apparently John the medical dentist in panel one wasn’t too worried when there is much worse news to worry about in the paper.

April, be glad Liz washed it off first!

(gulp)

Wash, Rinse, Repeat. . . . Sure it’s not Ground-hogs day with Bill Murry

Mmmm don’t give it back to her. Stupid comic.

congress in action, expecting different results from the same actions.

Here we go again.

at least it’s not a zipper

Eye roll

Lynn’s Comments:

My brother produced the dime in a few days, and after my mom washed it off, we saw that it had turned blue. The chemicals in Al’s stomach had coloured the dime blue! He was so excited about this that as soon as he could find another dime…he swallowed it!

I love how they gloss over how it was “produced”. Ick. Pt-tooey. And they had to sort through it!

Gene poll is kinda shallow.

At least they washed it.

Oh no, not again!

Lynn Johnston was not known for originality. Recycling plot lines was common. Maybe this time it will not “come out in the end”. Rather, it could be like this…

April’s stomach rumbles loudly. Everyone gathers around

April: BARRRRFFF!

Vomit lands on Elizabeth

Gordie LaChance{as narrator}: “Everybody got sick and vomited. Elly vomited on John. The Enjos vomited on Brian. Lawrence vomited on his gay lover. An old lady vomited in her purse. Rolne vomited on Lhetta. This was not seen since the likes of that pie eating contest in Castle Rock.”

Ah yes, April will make a wonderful college party animal when she gets older, she’s working on her drink, pee, repeat, mentality already.

Here we go again! Put the doctor on speed-dial…

Kids…..

Some kids never learn at any age?

Right… give the button back to the toddler who swallowed in the first place ! LOL…

There’s not going to be much left of it after passing twice through her digestive tract.

I see April has inherited her mother’s penchant for learning NOTHING!

It’s a BUTTON,not buried pirate treasure!

Here we go again…

No amount of soap and water—-yuk—April.

In all fairness, the more times something is “passed,” the more valuable it becomes! Certain coffees are made with EXCLUSIVELY passed beans. I forgot which animal eats them though.:/

Where’s Farley when you need him? Unlike Elly, I’m sure he would’ve been smart enough to keep Liz from giving the button back to April.

She didn’t swallow it again (yet). She just put it back in her mouth. From the look on Elly’s face, it will be mere seconds before either she or Liz dig it out of April’s mouth with a finger.

I think this whole arc is really funny, and that Lynn imagined the drawings and found the words to convey that story in such a humorous and hilarious way….

: – ))

QUIT GIVING THE TODDLER SMALL THINGS TO HOLD!!!!!!!! Good grief

So much for common sense.

…Here we go again…

And how did it come out?

From the first panel, I just knew this was going to happen!

Don’t put that in your mouth – you know where it’s been!
